These brushes are made from a blend of pure sable hair and synthetic fibers, providing performance close to sable at a moderate price. They are ideal for working with watercolor and fluid oil color but are also suitable for use with use with alkyds and acrylics. The high proportion of sable hair gives the brushes considerably more ability to make larger washes in one stroke than normal synthetic brushes, and the hairs are tapered to a fine point, giving the brushes control for detailed work. The blend of sable hair and synthetic fiber also offers excellent snap, spring and enhanced color carrying capacity, and ensures that the brushes are soft enough to work the color. They have burgundy-colored handles with seamless gold-tone ferrules.

Mount Vision Handmade Pastels Karl Kelly, the creator of Mt. Vision Pastels, started his career making handmade oil paints for one of the United States best known fine oil paint manufacturers. Karl says "I wanted to bring the vivid color and particular density of each pigment to pastel with the same high quality I applied to making paint." The Mount Vision Pastel Company was launched in the top story of an old general store in Mt. Vision, New York, in the Fall of 2000. Mount Vision Pastels have an intensity that rivals all other imported brands of pastels. They have a wonderful, soft, almost buttery feel; the pigment goes down without resistance and allows the build up of several layers. The colors chosen for Mount Vision pastels have been picked from nature, as well as the artistic use of color in the medium. The color line is constantly growing to meet the needs of pastelists. Mount Vision pastels are larger than most other brands- and perhaps best of all, they are less expensive because they are made in the United States and are not subject to added import and shipping fees. All of our customers who have tried them are absolutely delighted!

And for those who like to color mix on their palette, you can even use the slick wax directly on the palette and with a wipe of a paper towel, you will have a nice clean surface to continue color mixing on.

With Tom Norton’s Walnut Drawing Ink® you will experience the richness of color and superior rendering capablilites loved by the world’s most famous artists. Our ink is intensely pigmented, water soluble and creates beautiful warm browns. Outstanding performance with watercolor techniques such as layering to darken tones or adding water for light washes. You can also use a wet brush to lift color.

Walnut Drawing Ink
Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink® owes it’s reputation for supreme quality to it’s unique formula which uses premium imported pigment. Experience the unique characteristics and beauty of the ink used by the Old Masters without the acidic qualities of the old formula that fades, is highly acidic and damages paper over time. Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink®  is extremely lightfast.

NEW! Walnut Darkening Medium 
Tom Norton’s Darkening Medium® is not an ink but an additive to be used to darken the original ink when a drawing needs that extra “punch”. Some artists will add black india ink to darken the color of Walnut Ink. This will work but you will sacrifice the unique watercolor characteristics of the ink and lose the ability to lift color or lighten areas. 

The Darkening Medium® is very heavily pigmented and made with the same binder as the original so it can be added or mixed with Tom Norton’s Original Ink® without changing its working properties. It can also be used straight from the bottle. However, it is so heavily pigmented it will behave more like a Sumi ink and stain the paper and not lift as easily as the original.

Handmade Unison Pastels by John Hersey... Unison pastels are the creation of artist John Hersey. From a converted coach house in Northumberland, England, his wife, son and a small band of artisans lovingly carry on John's legacy making Unison pastels by hand, cutting no corners, accepting no compromise. They make small batches of 100 to 200 pastels at a time. Each stick is hand rolled and allowed to air dry. This produces a soft pastel which is eager to embrace the tooth of your drawing paper. There is richness, smoothness, and an intensity you will find nowhere else. John Hersey observed from nature that a single color takes on endless variations of hue, depending on the quality of light that strikes it. Unison colors flow from nature itself, seducing the eye with its power.

Hot Sticks Encaustic Wax Paints are designed for the professional encaustic artist. Hot Sticks feature the same professional artist quality colors you find in the Hot Cakes line but come in a versatile square stick. In fact, Hot Sticks are available in all 86 colors plus Wax Medium and XD Wax Medium. The new square paint stick shape allows artists to use encaustic paints in a whole new way. You can use Hot Sticks for encaustic painting, printmaking, rubbings, and even mixed media techniques. Melt them directly on your hot palette to create a puddle of color for your brush or apply directly to a heated substrate. Hot Sticks glide on your heated substrate like lipstick, creating those vibrant colors or subtle earth tones you love. Simply apply just the tip of the Hot Stick to your heated substrate to paint fine details or swipe the Hot Stick on its side to make bold strokes of color. You can color mix using your Hot Stick colors directly on your painting, your hot palette or melt them together in a large tin to create custom mixes. Hot Sticks are the newest addition to the Enkaustikos encaustic paint line. These artist-quality colors are made from the most beautiful pigments, the finest Damar Resin, and United States Pharmaceutical Grade (USP) Beeswax. These paints contain no bleach or synthetic adulterants whatsoever.

This tool is made to lay down a consistent line of wax. It can also be used to lay down dots and little "points" of wax. Simply melt down a small amount of paint or wax medium in the reservoir, and then carefully touch the Waxmelter Batik Pen to your substrate. The needle that runs down the reservoir will be pushed up; releasing the flow of melted wax. This is ideal for batik artists and for artists who want to try pointillism or get a nice, heavy line in their work.

The Encaustic Flow Pen is not interchangeable with our other pen or brush attachments. The flow pen tip is permanently affixed to the heating tool and used exclusively for line and dot work.

The Waxmelter Batik Pen is designed to work at a low temperature and DOES NOT require a temperature regulator.  We never knew this but that was always the case.  We always assumed that a regulator was necessary and even demonstrated a Waxmelter Batik Pen using a regulator on Youtube. We apologize for this mis-information and will remove the Youtube video.

With Tom Norton’s Walnut Drawing Ink® you will experience the richness of color and superior rendering capablilites loved by the world’s most famous artists. Our ink is intensely pigmented, water soluble and creates beautiful warm browns. Outstanding performance with watercolor techniques such as layering to darken tones or adding water for light washes. You can also use a wet brush to lift color.

Walnut Drawing Ink
Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink® owes it’s reputation for supreme quality to it’s unique formula which uses premium imported pigment. Experience the unique characteristics and beauty of the ink used by the Old Masters without the acidic qualities of the old formula that fades, is highly acidic and damages paper over time. Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink®  is extremely lightfast.

NEW! Walnut Darkening Medium 
Tom Norton’s Darkening Medium® is not an ink but an additive to be used to darken the original ink when a drawing needs that extra “punch”. Some artists will add black india ink to darken the color of Walnut Ink. This will work but you will sacrifice the unique watercolor characteristics of the ink and lose the ability to lift color or lighten areas. 

The Darkening Medium® is very heavily pigmented and made with the same binder as the original so it can be added or mixed with Tom Norton’s Original Ink® without changing its working properties. It can also be used straight from the bottle. However, it is so heavily pigmented it will behave more like a Sumi ink and stain the paper and not lift as easily as the original.
